157: Chapter 157: So angry, I didn’t sleep with your wife 157: Chapter 157: So angry, I didn’t sleep with your wife Time flew by to noon, and during this time, everyone would usually be dining in the company cafeteria, busily allotting enough time for the planning of the afternoon’s work.
But now, both the Xu Corporation and Lu’s Real Estate cafeterias were empty, and nearby Time Square was packed with dense crowds of people dressed in security uniforms.
To the left stood the Xu Corporation guards in light blue uniforms, with Zhu Xuetao at the forefront, megaphone in hand, shouting at the black-uniformed Lu’s Real Estate, “A bunch of fake devils, acting all high and mighty for what, just wait and see how our Ning Bro will knock your Security Minister flat with one punch!”
“Brothers, are your phones ready?
Such a classic moment, I think we can submit this as material to the PR department for planning, haha.”
Zhu Xuetao’s words brought laughter to many of the solemn-looking security guards, and momentarily, the atmosphere on Xu Corporation’s side became exceedingly jovial.
“Cheer squad, ready, jump!”
Following Zhu Xuetao’s command, the neatly arranged squad of office ladies they had specially invited began their dance routine.
Although there were no banners or slogans, this arrogant behavior was clearly a naked provocation against Lu’s Real Estate.
Indeed, apart from the two titans, Lu’s Real Estate and Xu Corporation, many employees and executives of smaller companies were also secretly paying attention to this clash.
Although it seemed unrelated to economics and business, speakingly mildly, it was but a few gaps between two security departments; however, speaking more severely, it was a matter of a company’s face and dignity.
If one company were to lose this time, they would probably have to look up to the other in business matters later on.
Needless to say, the executives of Lu’s Real Estate shared this line of thought as well.
From within the tall building, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Lu’s Real Estate shareholders watched the lively scene below with a sneer, looking toward Qiu Shantian who had already changed into his Judo uniform, katana on his back, and said, “Mr.
Qiu, it’s your turn to go on stage.”
Qiu Shantian gave a cold smile, glancing down at the singing and dancing Xu Corporation employees for the last time, stepped out of the company with a mocking sneer.
As soon as he reached the square, the Lu’s Real Estate crowd instantly erupted.
Although most of their security was comprised of natives, they had almost been culturally assimilated after working for an Island nation enterprise; they were more excited to see Qiu Shantian than their own fathers, constantly shouting: “Go, Minister!
Beat the Xu Corporation losers!”
“Wow, the Minister is so handsome!”
Female employees of Lu’s Real Estate, with stars in their eyes, looked at Qiu Shantian, who made his entrance like an ancient Swordsman, their gaze full of admiration.
Qiu Shantian smiled coldly, took a disdainful look at the noisy crowd, and shouted loudly, “Where is the youngster who accepted my challenge?
Hiding in fear, not daring to come out?”
Qiu Shantian looked around, his frown deepening.
“I bet that kid is scared, turned into a hiding turtle!”
“That’s right, cowards are plentiful every year, especially at Xu Corporation!”
At this point, the security guards of Lu’s Real Estate finally found an opportunity to counter-mock Xu Corporation; Zhu Xuetao’s leading of the security and office ladies in song and dance had truly infuriated them.
“What’s going on, it’s already noon, where is Ning Bro, could it be…”
A security guard approached Zhu Xuetao and asked in a low voice, a hint of hesitation on his face.
If Ning Fan really fled without fighting, not only would Xu Corporation lose face, but the security guards who’d come to show force would truly be humiliated all the way to grandma’s house.
“What’s the rush, can’t even go to the bathroom in peace, here I am, aren’t I?”
Accompanied by a surge of music, Ning Fan, with his hair slicked back glossy and smooth, walked into the center of the square.
He seemed to completely ignore Qiu Shantian, who was already ready to spring into action, and instead looked toward Xu Corporation’s cameras, smiling as he instructed, “Make sure to get my good angles!”
“Insolence!”
Qiu Shantian was furious: “Being late is the same as being untrustworthy, do you think you’re on a vacation here!”
His fingers were already on the hilt of his Japanese Blade.
Ning Fan had truly ignited the fury in his heart by now.
“Sorry, but against a rookie like you, I’m really just as relaxed as if I were on vacation.
What can you do about it?”
Ning Fan cracked a slight smile, gave his clothes a shake, and said nonchalantly.
This behavior quickly earned him a barrage of screams and cheers from the female employees.
“Ning Fan is so cool, I want to have your monkey babies!”
“Move aside, line up.
Ning Fan is mine.
You go, take that island nation guy down!”
“Enough talk, sick man of East Asia.
Make your move!”
Accompanied by the sound of a blade scraping against its scabbard, Qiu Shantian held the sword in hand, coldly staring at Ning Fan ahead of him.
“Is it really necessary to be so serious when fighting you?
How about this, to avoid making it too suspense-free, I’ve decided to give you the advantage of one hand.”
After saying this with a teasing smile, Ning Fan actually placed his left hand behind his back, looking at Qiu Shantian with disdain in his eyes.
“Come on, using just one hand, for real?”
Suddenly, the square was filled with numerous gasps of astonishment.
Even Zhu Xuetao, who had always been supportive of humiliating the opponent thoroughly, felt a bit uneasy as he stepped forward and whispered in Ning Fan’s ear, “Brother Ning, that little Japanese guys strength is not ordinary; aren’t you being a bit too arrogant…”
“Step back, I’ve got it under control.”
Ning Fan smiled faintly, extended his right palm towards Qiu Shantian, beckoned with his fingers, smiled slightly, and said, “Come on!”
“You’re asking for death, I’ll carve you into pieces!”
A rage burst forth from Qiu Shantian’s chest, and with a loud shout, he charged at Ning Fan with his sword.
The first move!
It was the Cape Slash, the very technique that made him famous!
And yet, the Ning Fan before him remained lazily nonchalant, as if he wasn’t taking anything happening before him seriously.
This arrogant demeanor made Qiu Shantian’s rage unfathomable, just as he thought his blade was about to tear the presumptuous youngster before him to shreds.
Suddenly, the unexpected occurred!
In the split second before the blade touched Ning Fan’s neck, he moved!
When he moved, it was sudden like the wind!
Aggressive as fire!
Ning Fan flicked his fingers, touching the inner side of Qiu Shantian’s sword blade, and effortlessly deflected the strike.
Before Qiu Shantian could change his move, Ning Fan had already grabbed the collar of his judo uniform.
“Why so angry?
I didn’t sleep with your wife; is it necessary?”
Ning Fan said with a slight smile.
All the posturing had been a tactic to rile up Qiu Shantian.
And now, it seemed that the strategy had been a success.
